suspicious - Story 145434 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Perfect Pastries" had just opened down the street. Martha's blood ran cold. The shop's signature croissant, the one she’d perfected after months of failures, was the spitting image of her own.

Her hands shook as she stared at the bright, inviting storefront. The golden, flaky perfection. The identical delicate shape. She'd shared her recipe with a friend a while back.

She felt a wave of nausea. The friend had sworn she was just asking for tips. Martha now thought about the cheerful phone calls, the shared laughter. It all felt like a charade.
